15 Celebrities That Could Take Over Superman From Henry Cavill

In This Article:

There's been a lot of rumors about the chaos going on without DC Universe.

There's word that Ben Affleck will not be returning as Batman and Henry Cavill will not be returning as Superman. Fortunately, there are a lot of actors that would still be able to pull off playing Superman as well as draw people to the box office just like Henry Cavill did.

Michael B. Jordan

He had a stint in playing the human torch in the Fantastic Four and also played the villain in "Black Panther" making him a great acting choice with his experience in superhero movies.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

I think we can all admit that he's got more than enough muscles to play the role of Superman.

Matt Bomer

He looks just like how everyone imagines Clark Kent to look and is already chiseled to perfection from his role in "Magic Mike."

Joe Manganiello

Since he has already been casted as Deathstroke in the DC Universe, this is a bit of a stretch but he was actually asked to screen test for Henry Cavill's job for the Man Of Steel in 2011.

Jared Padalecki

As my boyfriend states, “He’s got that chiseled baby face that Superman is known for.”

Henry Golding

With the rise of his success from "Crazy Rich Asians," everyone's pushing towards his casting as the next Clark Kent for Asian representation.

Tyler Hoechlin

I mean, he already plays Superman in the popular TV show "Supergirl."

Tom Hardy

He's a great actor and was already awesome as Bane in the DC universe.

He already did well with his action-role in the Divergent series proving that he has what it takes for the action that is required for the role of Superman.

Collin Farrell

He has played in a superhero movie before by playing Bullseye in "Daredevil."

Ian Harding

He fits the boyish charm persona of Clark Kent.

An actor already beloved by "The Office" fans, he has already proven his film chops on the screen with his role in "A Quiet Place."

Dean Cain

He may be too old to reprise his role as Superman but nothing a little Hollywood CGI or Botox can’t fix.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
